In our system you have to differ between the president and the chancellor.
The president is the head of state. However, the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany restricts his power only to representative tasks. He also checks if new laws are in accordance with the constitution.

Haha, no, no. I'm sorry for creating this wrong image of her. She's a very reserved, restrained and sober person. That was the first and the last time she wore that dress.
